Description
Tekke torba, 6-guls, Turkmenistan, early to mid-19th c.Several elements point to an excellent pedigree for this torba: large, well-proportioned guls, single crested birdheads and "T" attachments. The chemche secondary ornaments show double kochak extensions at the upper and lower ends, as well as "bow-and-arrow" ornaments at the ends of the horizontal axes, and an early border. Additionally, early Tekke torbas can have a "blank" space at the top and bottom of the field between the edge of the borders and the field ornaments, making them appear to "float.". This is an adaptation of an ancient carpet tradition seen in in pre-Ottoman carpet design that entered the Turkmen tradition somewhere and sometime along their long, shared line during the centuries. Size: 3'11'' x 1'4'' (119 x 41 cm). Weight: 2 lbs. Material: wool pile, wool warp, wool weft.
